Easter War Haikus

On this Spring Holiday I’ve been thinking about the “rebirth” metaphor of the season in terms of Lybia and the rebirth of colonialism. The “people” we are “defending” are unknown & the 1 thing you can say against them is that the West of a checkered past is so violently supporting them. (Where’s the support in Yemen and Bahrain?)

1a. Military gains/
Aren’t moral or social wins/
But Ethical #Fail/

I like haiku. I like all 3 line literary forms and I also like the concept of haiku about wars. don’t think this has been done before. nice work — and your thoughts on Libya are telling: you’re right — we don’t knpow much about the rebels
